In the chasing convex bodies problem, an online player receives a request sequence of $N$ convex sets $K_1,\dots, K_N$ contained in a normed space $\mathbb R^d$. The player starts at $x_0\in \mathbb R^d$, and after observing each $K_n$…

The convex body chasing problem, introduced by Friedman and Linial, is a competitive analysis problem on any normed vector space. In convex body chasing, for each timestep $t\in\mathbb N$, a convex body $K_t\subseteq \mathbb R^d$ is given…

We study the problem of chasing convex bodies online: given a sequence of convex bodies $K_t\subseteq \mathbb{R}^d$ the algorithm must respond with points $x_t\in K_t$ in an online fashion (i.e., $x_t$ is chosen before $K_{t+1}$ is…

Friedman and Linial introduced the convex body chasing problem to explore the interplay between geometry and competitive ratio in metrical task systems. In convex body chasing, at each time step $t \in \mathbb{N}$, the online algorithm…

In the Convex Body Chasing problem, we are given an initial point $v_0$ in $R^d$ and an online sequence of $n$ convex bodies $F_1, ..., F_n$. When we receive $F_i$, we are required to move inside $F_i$. Our goal is to minimize the total…

We introduce and study a family of online metric problems with long-term constraints. In these problems, an online player makes decisions $\mathbf{x}_t$ in a metric space $(X,d)$ to simultaneously minimize their hitting cost…

Let $\mathcal{F}$ be a family of sets in some metric space. In the $\mathcal{F}$-chasing problem, an online algorithm observes a request sequence of sets in $\mathcal{F}$ and responds (online) by giving a sequence of points in these sets.…

We revisit the two-player planar target-defense game initially posed by Isaacs where a pursuer (or defender) attempts to guard a target set from an attack by an evader (or attacker). This paper builds on existing analytical solutions to…

We study online competitive algorithms for the \emph{line chasing problem} in Euclidean spaces $\reals^d$, where the input consists of an initial point $P_0$ and a sequence of lines $X_1,X_2,...,X_m$, revealed one at a time. At each step…

Let $(X, d)$ be a metric space and $C \subseteq 2^X$ -- a collection of special objects. In the $(X,d,C)$-chasing problem, an online player receives a sequence of online requests $\{B_t\}_{t=1}^T \subseteq C$ and responds with a trajectory…

Developing large-scale distributed methods that are robust to the presence of adversarial or corrupted workers is an important part of making such methods practical for real-world problems. In this paper, we propose an iterative approach…

In this paper, we consider linear quadratic team problems with an arbitrary number of quadratic constraints in both stochastic and deterministic settings. The team consists of players with different measurements about the state of nature.…

We consider an autonomous navigation problem, whereby a traveler aims at traversing an environment in which an adversary tries to set an ambush. A two players zero sum game is introduced. Players' strategies are computed as random path…

This paper studies a variant of multi-player reach-avoid game played between intruders and defenders. The intruder team tries to score by sending as many intruders as possible to the target area, while the defender team tries to minimize…

We study a pursuit-evasion problem which can be viewed as an extension of the keep-away game. In the game, pursuer(s) will attempt to intersect or catch the evader, while the evader can visit a fixed set of locations, which we denote as the…
